*Who was the Band that opened AL's Bar 20 years ago? PARTY BOYS, of course! Thankfully, everyone is still alive and well but, alas, a full re-union show is not possible. P'Boy lead guitar player James Duck, however, will open the show with his current band "The Jimbonaires", (the artists formerly (formally?) known as "Jimbo's Shitpie"), and they will play Party Boys cover songs! Three of them!.. at least. Don't miss it: 3pm promptly.

"FORMING: THE EARLY DAYS OF L.A. PUNK"
TO OPEN AT TRACK 16 GALLERY, Santa Monica
ÐExhibition Examines A Legendary Moment In L.A.'S Cultural HistoryÐ
It was fast. It was rude. It was loud. It was dangerous.
It was wild. In the most comprehensive exhibition
ever mounted, Forming: The Early Days of L.A. Punk, brings to life the
unprecedented musical and artistic energy of the Los Angeles punk scene
from 1976 to 1982. Forming opens at Track 16 Gallery on April 10 and
runs through June 4, 1999.
Less well known than its New York and British cousins, Los Angeles was
nevertheless a vortex of punk energy and music. Fueled by ambivalence to
the prevailing cultural and social climate, musicians, artists, writers,
photographers and a diverse audience joined together to produce a
flourishing scene. Bands popped up in far flung corners of Los Angeles
and Orange County. Hot venues made strange bedfellows of punks and
Chinatown-dowagers, seventies-style heavy metal long-hairs and cholos
from East LA.
